Taylor Swift was seen for the first time with her rumored beau, Travis Kelce, after cheering him on at the Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday – and fans were sent into a frenzy as they reacted to the sighting.
Earlier in the day, the Bad Blood hitmaker, 33, supported the NFL tight end alongside his mother, Donna, in a VIP suite as his team competed against the Chicago Bears.
After the Chiefs’ big 41-10 win, the professional football player and the Grammy winner were seen strolling side-by-side as they exited the locker room at Arrowhead Stadium.
In a now-viral video shared to Twitter by former NFL running back and radio host, Jarrett Payton, Travis could be heard saying, ‘How you doing?’ with Swift adding, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ in Payton’s direction.
Fans have been active on social media as Swift and Kelce continue to fuel romance speculation, and offered their own reactions to the match and four-second clip by jumping to Twitter.

One fan penned, ‘BRB, screaming, crying,’ while another typed out, ‘They ae kind of cute together! I’m so happy for her,’ followed by a red heart emoji.
One social media user added, ‘Travis is now my favorite NFL player full stoppp,’ while a fan made up lyrics to a breakup song. ‘I can already hear it now…”I was the touchdown you couldn’t catch.”‘
Another fan wrote, ‘Future subject of an overrated breakup song,’ while another humorously penned, ‘Why Kelce looking like the awkward kid with the smoking of a girlfriend.’
One added, ‘Awkward and adorable,’ and another wrote, ‘Wow, Kelce just won and has Taylor Swift on his arm-think he’d be happier,’ referencing to the lack of smile on the player’s face in the reel.
A Swiftie sweetly wrote, ‘Taylor looks happy,’ while one added a meme of The Office star, Jenna Fischer, saluting along with the caption, ‘Not all heroes wear capes.’
The eight-time Pro Bowler was likely determined to put on the best show he could after revealing to ESPN’s Pat McAfee that he invited Swift to this week’s game.
Earlier this week on Thursday, Travis addressed romance rumors that had begun circulating between him and Swift.
The host brought up the speculation that was ‘being talked about by the whole entire world right now.’

The professional NFL star admitted to McAfee, ‘It’s life, baby. I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court.’
While the Chiefs tight end didn’t clarify whether the pair have met in person just yet, but he explained that he told Taylor, ‘”I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead [Stadium]. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.”‘
Back in July, the Chiefs star first expressed his interest for Swift on his podcast that he hosts with brother, Jason, called New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce.
He opened up about attending her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City and stated, ‘If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.’
However, he wasn’t able to do so, admitting, ‘I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her. She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me. So, I took it personal.’
Following the game Kelce recorded a video commending his head coach Andy Reid for moving past legendary former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry for sole possession of fourth place on the all-time wins list.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes also recorded his 22nd game with three TD passes and no interceptions, tying Aaron Rodgers for the most by a QB before turning 30. The Chiefs signal caller turned 28 last Sunday.
Kelce himself also inched closer to record-breaking status as he only needs three more TD catches to pass Tony Gonzalez (76) for second in Chiefs history.

A frenzy: Earlier in the day, the Swifties deluged social media with memes about her and her rumored relationship with Travis as soon as photos of her at the game surfaced; seen earlier this month in New Jersey
There is no word on whether or not his new No. 1 fan will be in attendance when he eventually breaks the Chiefs record.
Mahomes was also asked about Swift being in attendance by FOX reporter Ein Andrews after the game concluded.
‘Do you realize how much pressure was on you from the Swifties to get Travis Kelce a touchdown with Taylor in the house today?’ she asked during the quick interview.
‘I heard she was in the house… I felt a little bit of pressure and so I knew I had to get it to Trav,’ Mahomes said.
‘And of course, it was on a route he does his own thing and just makes up a route and I threw it to him. I think he wanted to get in the end zone as much as all the Swifties wanted him to.’
Earlier in the day, the Swifties deluged social media with memes about her and her rumored relationship with Travis as soon as photos of her at the game surfaced.
One humorous meme featured a hyped-up crowd at a bar watching a massive TV screen.
The meme — which can be repurposed with any new video footage — showed the parties going wild with cheers and pumped fists as soon as Taylor showed up on screen in the box while cheering on Travis.
Another fan uploaded a separate meme which showed a screenshot from High School Musical 3 where Gabriella — played by Vanessa Hudgens — stood up from the stands during Troy’s (played by Zac Efron) basketball game.

The memes didn’t just stay in the realm of social media, and one sports fan was seen holding up a sign that read, ‘Is Taylor Here?’ in the stands of the stadium.
Earlier this week, a source told DailyMail.com, ‘Travis and Taylor are talking and Travis is absolutely interested.’
‘He has shot his shot and would love to take Taylor on a date and see where they can go in the relationship department…’
